Samples of ITS certification projects and portfolios.
In GCIT 684, graduate students consult with a faculty member to transition a face-to-face course to online. The following samples are of course tours in which graduate consultants highlight their course design, developed content, assignments, and functionality for new students taking the course in the online format. All of the interactivity, structure, cloud-based assignments, and content post-production is completed by the student consultant. The faculty member serves as the SME (subject matter expert).
